Bug ID: 405872
Summary: Certain library files installed to the wrong
directory.
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: halo117nac...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
This is a build issue.
Here's my problem. I wanted a newer version of KDEConnect that what's available
for my distro, so I'm trying to build KDEConnect from source. However, when I
install it, several important library files get installed to
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu. This is weird, since my system is 64 bit, thus the
files should be installed to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. AFAIK, nothing gets
installed to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. IDK if I'm doing something wrong, or if
there's a bug in cmake, or what.
I got KDEConnect from this git repository:
https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdeconnect-kde.git
These are the commands I ran:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make
sudo make install
KDEConnect works, and I'm able to pair my laptop to my phone, but I can't do
anything beyond that: I can't browse the device (via sftp), I can't read/send
SMS messages... heck, I can't even see how much battery my phone has.
Creating a symlink in "/usr/lib/x86_64/qt5/plugins/kdeconnect", and having said
link point to "/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/kdeconnect" seems to fix the
issue (kdeconnectd will need to be restarted), but I find it odd that I even
need to do that.
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04. I don't know much about make or cmake, so IDK what I
can do on my end.
